Question

Exponential growth and decay: what exactly does 0 14 years ago

Answer 1

It does

Answer 2

no it means that b is between 0 and 1

Answer 3

which means it has to be a decimal

Answer 4

you cant have a whole number between 0 and 1

Answer 5

lol

Answer 6

really? like for example 3.14?

Answer 7

how is 3.14 smaller then 1 and larger then 0?

Answer 8

and i don't really understand how the graph is supposed to be, how is it different from b > 1

Answer 9

no it has to be between 01 and 1

Answer 10

or perhaps the decimal
\[\frac{1}{3}\]

Answer 11

I suppose it has to be of the form 1/a where a>1

Answer 12

0 and 1 i meant

Answer 13

point i was making is that 3.14 is a "decimal" but it is not less than 1
for that matter so is the decimal 100

Answer 14

But to get back to the actual question:
if 0<b<1 then you have exponential decay:

If b>1 you have exponential growth:
